About Me

i am lazy but passionate ... i like to sleep a lot but when i'm not lounging, i try to make good use of my time: reading, writing letters, knitting, lifting pathetic little five-pound barbells, cooking, walking or, occasionally, doing yard work. i am a homeowner (and a cat owner). i love being around people, being social, making people laugh and arguing in a friendly or not-so-friendly manner about whatever today's hot button issue might be.

My Interests

baseball, labor history, knitting, japanese fiction, photography.

Music:

right now: rediscovering "london calling," listening to perpetual favorites by m. ward and rufus wainwright.

Television:

i am addicted to law and order. it's like a disease. they show about 9 hours of it each night and i just sit down and get hooked. it's terrible. the dishes go unwashed, the laundry doesn't get done, and i have crazy dreams about trying to track down some serial rapist with my partner, jerry orbach, at my side.also i like family guy, futurama, and other greatest hits of cartoon network's adult swim ... and anything that joss whedon has been involved with. i've seen it all, but i can watch it all again, any time.and i watch sports center every morning while i'm working out.

Books:

on the nightstand right now: Shopgirl; Snobbery; Autobiography of a Geisha; and a bunch of NASCAR books (it's research!).
